The holiday season is just around the corner, and we all know what that means—festive gatherings, family photos, and celebrating with your loved ones. But with all the hustle and bustle, it’s easy to neglect the one thing that makes you look and feel your best: your skin! At Refined Image Ottawa, we’re here to help you get your glow on just in time for Christmas. Follow our ultimate guide to prep your skin for the holidays and feel radiant all season long.
1. Brighten and Protect with Vitamin C and Retinol
To achieve radiant, glowing skin before Christmas, now is the perfect time to incorporate powerhouse ingredients like Vivier’s Vitamin C and Retinol into your routine. These two ingredients work wonders to brighten your complexion, fight signs of aging, and protect your skin from environmental damage.
- Vitamin C: Vivier’s patented Vitamin C serums are known for their ability to brighten skin, fade dark spots, and boost collagen production. Using Vitamin C daily will give you that luminous glow we all crave during the holiday season.
- Retinol: At night, add Vivier’s Retinol to your skincare regimen. Retinol helps smooth out fine lines, reduce acne, and renew your skin, so you’ll wake up every morning with a fresh, rejuvenated complexion.
Combining these two powerful ingredients ensures that your skin will look brighter, smoother, and more youthful in time for the festivities.
2. Exfoliate to Reveal Fresh Skin
As the holidays approach, make exfoliation a priority in your skincare routine. Removing dead skin cells helps your products absorb better and reveals a smoother, more radiant complexion. We recommend gentle chemical exfoliants, like GM Collin’s Salicylic & Mandelic Acid Peel, or, for a more intense boost, consider booking a HydraFacial at our clinic.
In the weeks leading up to Christmas, aim to exfoliate 2-3 times per week to keep your skin bright and fresh, but avoid overdoing it. Too much exfoliation can cause irritation, which we definitely don’t want with those holiday parties coming up!
3. Try Potenza RF Microneedling for That Radiant Boost
If you’re looking for something more powerful to rejuvenate your skin, Potenza RF microneedling is a game-changer. This cutting-edge treatment helps boost collagen, tighten skin, and improve texture. The result? A glowing, youthful complexion just in time for the holidays.
The Potenza treatment works by using tiny needles and radiofrequency to stimulate your skin’s natural healing process, leaving you with a firmer, smoother appearance. Book your session now so you can experience results before Christmas!
4. Brighten and Even Out Your Complexion with PICO PRO Laser
Another fantastic treatment to prep your skin for the holidays is the PICO PRO laser, perfect for targeting dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars. The PICO laser delivers quick pulses of energy that break up pigment and promote collagen production, giving you a more even skin tone and that coveted holiday glow.
With minimal downtime and long-lasting results, this treatment is a must for anyone wanting to brighten and refresh their skin before the festive season.
5. Don’t Forget the Sunscreen
Even though it’s winter, sunscreen is still a must. UV rays can penetrate through clouds and glass, causing damage to your skin and leading to premature aging. Applying sunscreen daily helps protect your skin and ensures that your holiday glow is protected.
Vivier’s SPF 30 Sunscreen Lotion is a favorite at Refined Image Ottawa for its lightweight feel and effective protection.
6. Consider Laser Hair Reduction for Silky Smooth Skin
Christmas parties often mean showing a little skin, and nobody wants to deal with shaving or waxing last minute. Laser hair reduction can help you achieve smooth, silky skin without the hassle. Whether it’s for your legs, underarms, or bikini line, starting your treatments now means less maintenance and more time to enjoy the festivities.
Book your laser hair reduction sessions at Refined Image Ottawa and say goodbye to last-minute razor burn before your big holiday events.
7. Boost Your Skin from the Inside Out with IV Drip Therapy
Healthy skin starts from within, and one of the best ways to nourish your body is through IV drip therapy. At Refined Image Ottawa, our customized IV drips deliver a blend of vitamins, antioxidants, and hydration directly into your bloodstream, giving your skin the nutrients it needs to look its best.
Boost your energy, hydration, and skin health with an IV drip session before the holidays, and notice the difference in your overall glow.
8. Get a Professional Facial to Complete Your Routine
For the ultimate skin prep, book a luxurious GM Collin facial at Refined Image Ottawa. Our facials are tailored to your skin’s specific needs, whether you’re looking for hydration, anti-aging, or deep cleansing. With regular facials in the weeks leading up to Christmas, your skin will be glowing, smooth, and ready for the holiday spotlight.
9. Final Touches: Injectables for a Polished Look
If you’re looking for a little extra enhancement, consider Tox or fillers to smooth out fine lines and give your skin a refreshed appearance. Our experienced nurse injectors at Refined Image Ottawa will create a natural, subtle result that enhances your beauty and makes you feel confident for all those holiday selfies!
